Warnings Issued by DuPont
Introduction
• Anyone who begins to exhibit allergic response during the use of DuPont products should immediately cease using these products. The incident should also be reported to DuPont at 1.800.441.3637. • Latex Statement: As of January 1, 2006, DuPont production specifications exclude use of components containing natural rubber latex in the manufacture of Dupont™ Tyvek® IsoClean®, Tyvek™ Micro-Clean® 2-1-2 and ProClean® garments, and DuPont™ ProShield® 10 and DuraTrac™ shoe covers. Notwithstanding, DuPont™ Tyvek® Micro-Clean® 2-1-2 and Duratrac™ shoe covers produced by Cardinal Health prior to May 2008 may contain dry crumb natural rubber latex. • Silicone Statement: In the past, DuPont has found that threads and zippers can be the most significant source of silicone oil contamination in garments. DuPont specifies that thread and zippers used in Dupont™ Tyvek® IsoClean® and ProClean® garments be manufactured without the use of silicone oils. Notwithstanding, DuPont cannot guarantee the absence of silicone oils on these garments, nor can DuPont confirm silicone oil prohibition in DuPont™ Tyvek® Micro-Clean® 2-1-2 produced by Cardinal Health prior to May 2008. For end uses with concerns about contamination with silicone oils or any other contaminants, the best practice is to audit inbound materials, including garments, for those contaminants. • WARNING: Cleanroom apparel should not be used around heat, flames, sparks or in potentially flammable or explosive environments. Cleanroom fabrics should have slip-resistant materials on the outer sole of boots, shoe covers, or other garment surfaces in conditions where slipping could occur. • Seams and closures have less barrier than fabric. • Note: for protection from hazardous or infectious liquids, additional barrier tests are required to establish suitability for use. • CAUTION: This information is based upon technical data that DuPont believes to be reliable. It is subject to revision as additional knowledge and experience are gained. DuPont makes no guarantee of results and assumes no obligation or liability in connection with this information. It is the user's responsibility to determine the level of toxicity and the proper personal protective equipment needed. The information set forth herein reflects laboratory performance of fabrics, not complete garments, under controlled conditions. It is intended for informational use by persons having technical skill for evaluation under their specific end-use conditions, at their own discretion and risk. Anyone intending to use this information should first verify that the garment selected is suitable for the intended use. In many cases, seams and closures have shorter breakthrough times and higher permeation rates than the fabric. Please contact DuPont for specific data. If fabric becomes torn, abraded or punctured, or if seams or closures fail, or if attached gloves, visors, etc. are damaged, end user should discontinue use of garment to avoid potential exposure to chemical.
